The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1887-01-08


We understand that the proceeds
of New Years dance cleared the band
from debt. This is good. For tho past
two years hey have been working un-
der a cloud, but now that it is cleared
away they will have fine sailing AL
though tho band has sustained some
injury By the loss of some Of their best
musicians, Ell says he has another crop
coming on, and it will soon be as good
as evor.
Harley Ash came in from Silver
City on Monday. He says the roads
mover were in better shape whom you
get down deep enough to fud them, but
the trouble is to get deep enough. He
says at times his horses were clear out
of sight and that the wagon box was
the only thing visible. Had snyone but
Harley told this story, we would not
have believed it, but coming from that
truthful source, We accept thunder
protest.
Butts, of the firm of Bailey G.
Butts, successors to 81. Morrow, has al
ready pulled his coat and set TO work.
He comes into our midst with the envi-
ablo reputation of being the best horse
hocr in Idaho, and q good, square bus
mess man. Badly is already known to
US as man of sterling worth, and if he
proves as good blacksmith as he has
law-maker, he will never want for
plenty to do. Caldwell is indeed for
tunate in securing such mon.
The drawing for the picture took
place as advertised at Little & Co.'s
drug store, last Saturday evening.
Cooper drew oat the numbers, Little
called them out, and Strohecker and
Boone acted as judges. The tenth num-
Der drawn from the hat was to take the
pr.ze, which proved to be number seven.
On consulting the list it was found that
Mike Conway, our station agent, held
the lucky number. Nike is to be con-
graduated; his handsome phiz would
grace any canvas.
Howard Sebree was suddenly call
ed to Salt Lake Tuesday morning. 1t
is now a settled fact thai the ditch on
the other side OF the river, in which he
is Interested, will DO built. This ditch
will open up thousands OF acres OF fine
farming lands. aud will be wonderful
power in promoting The interests OF !
Caldwell. This enterprise, in connec- !
tion With the extension OF Strahern |
ditch, the location of the German COL |
ony within zig 1T Of town, and various
other proposed improvements, will
make Caldwell hum.
The business of town can always
be estizas..ed by the stock its merchants /
carry. The minute you step inside IL
ssore you can toll if the proprietor is
prosperous or not. All Cald we'll bust
ness houses have this thrifty, business
ike appearance, and mono more so than
j. P. Pethay's harness shop. Hs Car
ries tho finest limo OF single and double
harness, saddles. collars. etc., and cow
5cy goods in tho territory, and has them
marked down to living prices. The re-
pairing department is also in keeping
with the times, employ ing none but
first-class worknen ana guaranteeing
all work. Call around AID let jesse
Harmon, the manager, show you some
fine work.
III Caldwell had as good schools
as Boise City," remarked a stock man
in the postciiice the other day, 81 would
rather bring ny family here to live than
any other place in Idaho" And he
was right. A town can never be good
town with 3 poor school house. 1t is
She first thing looked for; and the first
question asked when the prosperity of
3 town is III question Isl: "Haye you
good school houseP'' The TRIBUNE
has nothing to say against the Cald veil
school management So far AS teachers
and the general management of the
schools SIRE COZ csrned, we have among
The bsstif not the best--;n tho terri
tory. But we have ouigrown our pres
ent accommodations, and stand badly
IA need of larger and better building.
lat us vote an independent district,
bond it for $4,000, and build a school
house that will be credit to ourselves
and the envy Of our sister towns.
